The Arrest

Summary: "In the deserted lobby of the old grand hotel in a small provincial spa town, one evening arrive a man already worn down by life, and a young man he met at the train station, a few kilometers away, who invited him to share the only taxi waiting for the evening train. Also in this hotel is a half-somnambulant little boy who comes to sleep every evening in the lobby armchairs, so as not to be alone in the room that his mother, an orchestra musician, abandons every night to meet her lover... What if this little boy, the young man, and this aging man were all one and the same person, whose impoverished life the man, dying in a ditch after his car crashes while being pursued by the police, relives in the few seconds before his death?"
